What is it used for?
Jumex is used to treat Parkinson's disease. It is believed that Deprenyl prevents the breakdown of dopamine in brain. Deprenyl is usually added to a treatment regimen after levodopa / carbidopa therapy begins to deteriorate.
Jumex is also used to treat the stiffness, tremors, spasms, and poor muscle control of Parkinson's disease. It is also used to treat the same muscular conditions when they are caused by drugs such as chlorpromazine (Thorazine), fluphenazine (Prolixin), perphenazine (Trilafon), and others.
